·I have a ladie’s watch that my late father gave to his mother in 1927. White gold filled, 15 jewel movement. He was working for a jeweller in Saskatoon at the time, as a watchmaker. I also have an 18-size, 7-jewel Elgin pocket watch in a coin silver case. It had belonged to my paternal grandfather upon his death in 1908. It was used by succeeding generations for decades. And the Elgin B W Raymond with the fancy dial was bought by my wife’s grandfather (may have been in Spokane), circa 1901.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.I was hard on an endless stream of quartz watches. I think my kid still has my dual time Victorinox Maverick. Here is its replacement bought in 2013. I was sick of batteries dying on my intl business trips.

·Not this exact watch, but one exactly like this was the first good watch I ever purchased in 1987, and it started my love of Omega. Had to sell it and others in the early 00s, but managed to find this one xmas 2022.

·My Mother’s first anniversary gift to my father in January 1952. Sadly, the dial experienced a wee dent back in the late 50’s/early 60’s.

·This was my second watch received at 13 years of age as a gift from my parents. My first one was a Kienzle which died of rust after a week or so.
Still runs perfectly after all this time, never serviced.
